Klezmer Revival Research



Hi there,

I am currently a senior at Princeton University, majoring in music, and I'm
writing a paper on the klezmer revival for my "Modern Judaism" class.  Does
anybody out there know of any good reference sources I should look at?
Periodicals, books, liner notes, etc.  I'm trying to examine what the
Klezmer revival meant to that generation of jews (1970's and 1980's young
people) in terms of their approaches and attitudes toward their jewish
roots.  Thank you for any help you can give.
